European Union Border Control

European Union Border Control refers to the system of regulations and procedures used to monitor and manage movement of people and goods across EU borders. It ensures security, checks for illegal activities, and facilitates lawful travel and trade. The Schengen Agreement allows passport-free movement among many member countries, while external borders are carefully guarded with customs and security checks. Border control balances security with ease of movement, involving cooperation among member states to uphold standards, prevent illegal crossings, and protect the safety of citizens and the economy.
